Here is the next chapter… and it seems I have at least one reader! Thank you sooo much for reading this. You're the only reason I am working on this still! Well I hope you like it Dragonsbane.

Dilandau slowly opened his eyes to look around but quickly shut them from the pain that shot through his head. He groaned and opened his eyes again trying to ignore the pain. He looked around and saw he was in a small room. He guessed it was a log house the floor was hard wood and by the window there was an desk with a lit lantern on it. The lantern was the only thing that gave light in the room. Dilandau slowly sat up to look around but when he did he got dizzy and held his head. He saw that his Zaibach armor was nowhere to be seen and he looked down and saw he was dressed in a plain white shirt and long baggy cream pants. His ribs and leg were wrapped up with clean bandages and he also noticed there was a white bandage around his head under his hair. He felt around the bandage then winced when he found where he had hit his head on his melef and the early knock to the head form the old man.

"I have to get out of here… but how…" he looked around to see if he could find his sword. He had to get back to Ziabach as soon as possible but first he had to get out of here. He pulled off the blankets of the bed he was in and swung his legs to the side of the bed. Dilandau stood up but only to fall forwards into the wall with a thud.

"Grrr damn leg" he growled and looked down at his left leg. It was still to inured to move it so he couldn't stand on it or let alone walk on it. He held the side of the wall and made his way over to this sword that he saw in the far corner of the room.

"Ha fools they leave my sword inside my room" he smirked and grabbed it and leaned his weight on it. He sighed and looked over at the door it was a ways from where he was but he had to try and get out. He had to keep close to the wall so he could keep his balance so he slowly made his way down the side of the wall but his head was giving him some problems. He was getting dizzier with every step he took so he had to stop after making halfway across the room. He looked out the window and saw he was about two floors up and that the house was in the middle of a clearing of a dense forest. But this wasn't the only house that was around there were about eight more houses.

"This will be harder then I thought," he grumbled. He then saw a person walk out of one of the houses and look up at him in the window.

"DAMN!!" he moved out of the way of the window but he moved to quick for his leg making him fall over to the floor making a loud thud. He then heard someone walking up the stairs so he rolled over off of his back on to his stomach and used his sword to get himself off the floor. The door opened and the man from before was standing in the door way but with another person with him.

"Ah your finally awake." The old mad said. Dilandau could see him clearly this time he had a brown beard with traces of gray in it and he was very tall taller then he was and he had green eyes. The other person with him was a boy about the same age as himself he had brown hair and magna eyes.

"You seem to have some of your strength back… that's good" the old man smiled. Dilandau leaned on his sword and glared at the old man but then a shot of pain shot through his head and he clutched his head.

"You still seem not to be strong enough to walk around you must rest" The old man spoke again.

"I'm not doing anything you say… I am leaving this place" Dilandau said angrily and squinted at the man and the boy.

"You are not going anywhere" the man walked towards him.

"Get back or I'll attack!" Dilandau yelled and pointed his sword at the man but winced and from putting his weight on his foot and had to use the sword for balance again.

"I don't think you will be attacking anyone in your condition" the man laughed and continued to walk towards him.

"Get back I warn you old man I will attack you, you don't know who you are dealing with" Dilandau growled in warning.

"Oh I think I know what I'm up against" the man laughed at him again. Dilandau glared all the man was doing was pissing him off more and more.

"I am Dilandau the Commander of Zaibach's Dragon slayers… You have no idea who your against" he smirked.

"Oh are you now" the man said mockingly, the boy behind him was still very silent as the two of them talked.

"Now I think you should lead me out of here right now." Dilandau ordered and held the wall and pointed his sword at the man.

"Oh you want to leave … well I don't think so you are not leaving here and that sword wont help you one bit in how you look right now you cant even stand on your own" the man told him sternly. Dilandau moved away from the wall and held onto the bed post and pointed the sword at the man

"Now do what I say lead me out of here" Dilandau said threatening. The man laughed again at him and took out his own sword

"Boy you are very stubborn so a fight you want a fight you will get" he smirked.

Dilandau pointed out his sword and smirked

"You don't have a chance old man no matter how hurt I am you cannot beat me" he went to hit the man but he blocked it easily. Then the man knocked Dilandau sword out of his hand then he used the blunt side of his sword to hit Dilandau in the ribs knocking him over to the ground.

"Grrr" Dilandau winced and held his ribs as he glared up at the man.

"See you are in no condition for traveling so you are stuck here if you like it or not." He said down to Dilandau.

"Mahou help him up" the man said to the boy that stood behind him. The boy nodded and walked up to him and held out a hand for him.

"I don't need your help" Dilandau growled and tried to get up on his own but failed.

" I will return in a few minutes with food for you boy" the man then walked out of the room and closed the door.

"I guess it's just you and me" said Mahou and held out his hand for him again. Dilandau glared and took Mahous hand and Mahou pulled him up to his feet and helped him to the bedside. Dilandau sat down and said nothing as he rubbed his swore ribs.

"I'm sorry about Father… he just doesn't want you to leave…" Mahou said as he leaned against the wall across form him. Dilandau still said nothing but glared.

"I don't get why I am here…why would you help me of all people…" Dilandau said quietly.

"I'm not the person to be asking questions to…sorry but I cannot answer that" Mahou sighed.

"Then who do I ask?" Dilandau for some reason had a feeling he knew him from somewhere but his memory wouldn't let him remember.

"Father will answer all your questions" Mahou headed for the door "If you need anything just knock on the wall my room is just next door" then Mahou left the room and shut the door. Dilandau couldn't understand why all these people were nice to him. Did they really not know who he was? Dilandau sighed and layed down on the bed he couldn't figure this out so he gave up and went back to sleep.
